Property & Land Verification

Property and land verification is one of the most complex and critical aspects of real estate transactions in India. With land records historically maintained in fragmented, paper-based systems across thousands of tehsils and sub-registrar offices, verifying property ownership, title authenticity, and encumbrance status has been a major challenge. Fraud in real estate — including forged title documents, duplicate property sales, undisclosed encumbrances, and fake RERA registrations — costs Indian buyers and financial institutions billions of rupees annually.

digiverification 's Property & Land Verification APIs bring digital verification to India's real estate ecosystem. Our APIs connect to digitized land record databases, sub-registrar offices, RERA portals, and municipal corporation systems across major Indian states to provide comprehensive property verification in real-time.

Property Ownership Verification confirms the current owner of a property by cross-referencing land registry records, revenue department data, and sub-registrar records. This is the foundational check for any property transaction — whether it's a purchase, mortgage, or lease. Buyers and lenders can verify that the person claiming to sell or mortgage a property is indeed the legal owner, preventing title fraud and unauthorized transactions.

Land Record Search provides access to digitized land records including khasra (plot-level records), khatauni (ownership records), and mutation entries (ownership transfer records). Our API supports multi-state land record search, covering major states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and more. This enables buyers, lenders, and developers to trace ownership history and identify potential disputes.

Encumbrance Certificate (EC) verification is essential for mortgage lending and property purchases. The EC confirms whether a property has any existing mortgages, liens, court attachments, or other legal encumbrances. Banks and housing finance companies mandate EC verification before approving home loans. Our API retrieves EC data from sub-registrar offices, providing a clear picture of the property's encumbrance status.

RERA Registration Verification validates that a real estate project is registered under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act. RERA registration is mandatory for all residential and commercial real estate projects above specified sizes. Unregistered projects expose buyers to construction delays, quality issues, and financial losses. Our API checks RERA registration status, project timeline, developer details, and compliance history across state RERA portals.

Title Document Verification uses AI-powered document analysis to authenticate sale deeds, gift deeds, partition deeds, and other property documents. Our system checks for signs of forgery, tampering, and inconsistencies in property documents, providing an additional layer of due diligence beyond ownership and encumbrance checks.

Property Tax Payment Status verification confirms whether property taxes are current, helping buyers identify properties with outstanding dues that may create legal complications post-purchase. Circle Rate and Guideline Value retrieval provides government-published property valuation benchmarks for stamp duty calculation, loan valuation, and fair market assessment.

Builder and Developer Verification validates the credentials, project track record, regulatory compliance, and financial health of real estate developers. This is critical for under-construction property purchases and for financial institutions providing project financing.
